Business Owners: Ask Yourself These Questions

Most successful business owners will reach a point…

..where they start to think seriously about an exit.

For those owners thinking of selling within the next 2-4 years, there’s a number of obvious and not-so-obvious questions to ask.

Here are a few…

+ How does my business compare to industry benchmarks?

+ How will my business fare in the face of upcoming industry trends?

+ Am I maximising my company’s potential growth?

+ What are my exit goals and how do I get the best outcome?

+ How well prepared is my business for due diligence?

+ What can I do to increase my company’s valuation before selling?

+ What can I do to be tax efficient when selling my business?

+ How will my staff be affected by a change in ownership?

+ How do I identify and approach the right potential buyers?

+ What kind of deal structure would best suit my exit goals?

+ How can I minimise disruption to my business during the sale process?

+ Am I prepared for life after the sale?

and most importantly…

+ Who can accelerate the exit process for me and maximise the valuation?
